Hi Mikel,the Samsung tools can give you a rough estimate on the current state of the SSD. SMART is of course supported by the SSD. The MTBF and other data is hard to judge, according to the values of the spec sheet, the failure rate should never be an issue for desktop users.

This report is very good but I have no clue how to take advantage of this in my laptop.How to retrofit my laptop?Why aren't the SSD capabilities classified in YOUR reviews (similar to the RPM parameter on hard disk or the transfer rate)? How to estimate the reliability improvement? Does the SSD have SMART utility or something similar?
